First has to be the Access Cab configuration. While seating is limited to two passengers, the rear cabin offers additional cargo storage in a climate-controlled environment. This also allows a 6-ft. bed as standard. The extra room for the cargo box means larger items store easier than the 5.5 ft. bed on the double cab models.

Highlights of other specific features:
Convenience

Safety and Security
- Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
- Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Toyota and the car in front)
- Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
- Lane centering system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
Technology and Telematics
- Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smart device wireless mirroring
